The audience is mainly young men. Are you going to mosh, one of them asks his buddy next to me. Luckily I know what a mosh pit is and respectfully move to the edge of the stage before they start.

A mosh pit is what young men do instead of dance, they run around in the audience and try to smash in to each other. Like bumper cars without the cars.

The music is a mix of hard rock and punk and gives the boys all the energy they need to let their feelings out. It’s a good enough groove, even though there are few songs that you can “get” without prior listening.

Picture wise there’s not a lot of light to work with and when the main act Periphery enters the stage I have to move into the mosh pit to get the pictures I need. It’s a quick stop and both I and the cameras make it out alive.
